Return journey
My journey from Omaha was quite peaceful as I reached Chennai in near perfect health, physically and mentally. If anyone asks me about this journey they'll probably get an earful about waiting in airports. In all I have waited at various airports across the world for 21 hours, in addition to some 4 hours wait inside the airplane.
